Profile: Being traded from the Diamondbacks to the Rockies should help Wheeler, who now has a better home park in Coors Field (not that Chase Field wasn’t already hitter-friendly) and a better chance to play more regularly, at least early on next season. A third baseman by trade, Wheeler can also handle first, and neither spot is solidified in Colorado, with Jordan Pacheco doing his best Placido Polanco impression at the hot corner and Todd Helton nearing the end of his days over at first base. There are two catches, though: One, Wheeler, 24, doesn’t own prototypical corner power, so he’s more of a useful reserve option who can start on occasion; and two, Nolan Arenado, the Rockies third baseman of the future, is likely to crack the majors in the second half of 2013, leaving Wheeler precious little time to ingratiate himself in his new home. Think of him as a won’t-help-much-but-won’t-hurt-either reserve corner infielder (CI) in deep NL-only play. (Jason Catania)

The Quick Opinion: There's less upside with this new Rockie third baseman, but that also means a lower price and less risk. He could fill in for a while on your deep-league team.

Profile: After a 2012 season in which a 23-year-old Wheeler produced a 143 wRC+ in Triple-A, there was some hope that he could be a productive big leaguer. But since the Diamondbacks had that Paul Goldschmidt guy already in the fold at first base, they shipped him off to Colorado. There, he didn't do nearly as well, despite plying his trade in the minors' best run environment. He regressed to a 113 wRC+ at Colorado Springs, and when called up to Denver, he "contributed" just a 21 wRC+ in his 42 major league plate appearances. That's obviously too small a sample to conclude that Wheeler will never be a good major league hitter, but taken in combination with his less than stellar production in what was his second year at Triple-A, and there's very little reason to be optimistic. The Rockies first base plans are not yet solidified, but if they sign someone in free agency and/or if Michael Cuddyer logs time at first base, Wheeler probably won't end up with a significant chunk of playing time. Either way, the 25-year-old isn't someone you should look to have on your fantasy team.

The Quick Opinion: A top-10 prospect in Colorado's depleted farm system heading into last season, Wheeler did very little to impress. With Todd Helton now retired, there is a chance that Wheeler may see some more action at first base in 2014, but even if he does he shouldn't be anywhere near a fantasy player's radar.

Profile: Wheeler has gotten at least a cup of coffee in each of the last three seasons. Through 225 major-league plate appearances, he has a .233/.280/.335 slash line. Not exactly what major-league teams are looking for in a corner infielder. (Scott Strandberg)

The Quick Opinion: Wheeler will be a non-roster invitee with the Angels in Spring Training. Fantasy owners are recommended to keep him on their non-rosters, as well.
